BMW Transmission Mount 22316771219 – Set of 2

This BMW transmission mount set contains two rubber transmission mounts listed under BMW part numbers 22316771219 and 22316799331. They are the small cylindrical rubber mounts with a threaded stud at each end that support the gearbox on its crossmember. The listing names BMW E30, E36, E39 and E46 models, and the supplier's fitment includes the BMW Z3 (1997–2002), 318i (1991–1998) and 325i (1993–1995 and 2001–2005). Easy Life Markets sells them as a pair, since both mounts are normally replaced together.

The transmission mounts carry the rear of the engine and gearbox and stop drivetrain vibration from reaching the body. They are made of rubber bonded to metal ends. With age, heat and oil exposure, the rubber cracks, sags or tears, and the gearbox starts to move more than it should. On these BMWs, worn transmission mounts are a common cause of vague shifting, clunks and vibration. You can read more about engine and transmission mounts and how they isolate vibration.

The listing title also mentions the E30, E36, E39 and E46 chassis. BMW used this style of transmission mount across many models, but not every engine and gearbox combination uses the same part. Please check the part number on your old mounts, or look up your car in a BMW parts catalogue using your VIN, before ordering. If you need help, contact us with your vehicle details.

Signs of Worn Transmission Mounts

Clunking when accelerating, lifting off the throttle or shifting
Vibration through the shifter or floor
Vague or sloppy manual gear shifts
Rubber that is cracked, torn, sagging or soaked in oil
The gearbox sitting lower than normal on its crossmember

Installation Notes

Raise and support the car safely on stands.
Support the gearbox with a jack and a block of wood before removing the crossmember.
Remove the crossmember, unscrew the old mounts and fit the new ones.
Refit the crossmember and tighten all nuts to BMW's specified torque.
Lower the gearbox slowly and check that the exhaust and shifter linkage are not under strain.

This is a manageable job for experienced home mechanics, but professional installation is recommended if you are unsure.

Replace the Engine Mounts Too?

Engine mounts and transmission mounts age together. If your transmission mounts are worn, check the engine mounts at the same time, since tired engine mounts add to the vibration and put extra strain on the new transmission mounts.

Manual and Automatic Gearboxes

The supplier describes this kit as an automatic transmission mount kit, while its item type also refers to manual transmission mounts. On many older BMWs, the same style of rubber transmission mount is used with both gearbox types, but some models and gearboxes use different mounts. This is one more reason to check the part number on your existing mounts, or use a BMW parts catalogue with your VIN, before you order.

Tips for Older BMWs

On E30, E36 and E46 models, transmission mounts are often original and can be well over twenty years old. When you have the crossmember off, it is a good time to inspect the shifter bushings, the driveshaft center support bearing and the flex disc (guibo), since worn parts in these areas can cause similar clunks and vibration. Replacing tired rubber parts together restores a tight, precise feel to the drivetrain.

Take care when lowering the gearbox: on many models the shift linkage, exhaust hangers and wiring can be stretched if the gearbox drops too far.

Who This Set Is For

This pair suits owners of classic and modern-classic BMWs, enthusiasts restoring E30, E36 and E46 cars, and independent workshops that maintain older BMW models.

Common Questions
